Coke Crate No.5

6 x 6 oil on hardboard panel

I know, I know . . . but there are still some people out there that would like to have a Coke Crate, and personally I like really like painting them. It's hard to beat that satisfying relationship between the colors red and green. If you'd like to bid on this painting, you can take part in the auction by clicking here.

Hi I’m Travis Montag. I’m doing an assignment in art where we have to comment on art works that we like. I choose your work because I like Coca-cola, and it got my attention because it looks very realistic. I like how you used value in your painting, it makes everything fit. I also like the colors that you chose to use, it resembles the actual colors of Coca-cola. I really like the color of the bottles, they look very realistic. The texture of your painting is very good, the box looks very smooth and the glass looks sleek. I like your use of balance in your painting. Having a dark background and a very bright box equals out everything. I also like how your focal point is of to the right of the paper instead of in the center, very unique. I just have one question, why didn’t you have any full bottles? I’ve done some simple art work like Fauvism and charcoal drawings, seeing your painting makes me want to try painting something similar. You should check out my blog sometime and comment on some of my artwork.

An art form is the specific shape, or quality an artistic expression takes. The media used often influence the form. For example, the form of a sculpture must exist in space in three dimensions, and respond to gravity. The constraints and limitations of a particular medium are thus called its formal qualities. To give another example, the formal qualities of oil painting are the canvas texture, color, and brush texture. The formal qualities of video games are non-linearity, interactivity and virtual presence. The form of a particular belstaff jackets outlet is determined by the formal qualities of the media, and is not related to the intentions of the artist or the reactions of the audience in any way whatsoever as these properties are related to content rather than form.
